F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, o. Dear
Sirs: About three months ago, MOTTO
ing a letter addressed to you in the Bee
from Gen. Slevin, in reference to the
cure of his son by the dse of Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, We were induced to COM
mence the use Of it for our daughter
Nellie, now fourteen years old. who has
been suffering from catarrh for about
eight years, during which time she has
been treated by one of the best physc
ians in the city. We have also tried
the use of almost all the known RENE
dies for catarrh, with no more success
than temporary relief. Many nights
have we laid awake to hold her mouth
open to keep her from strangling. Her
hearing had also become affected. We
were afraid that she would never recov-
er. We have now used six bottles of
HALLS CATARRH CURE and we be-
lieye Nellie to be entirely cured. In
few days after commencing the use of
it we noticed decided change for the
better, and from that right along she
has improved, until now she breathes
as easily as any one. She sleeps well
and her hearing is perfectly good.
We feel that the disease is entirely re
moved. We write this unsolicited let
ter, feeling that it is due you, and with
the hope that others may be benefited
in like manner. We can hardly real
ize that such change could be effected
in so short a time after battling with
the disease so long. We are still using
the remedy at intervals, as it seems to
build up her system. You are at lib
ertV to use this in any manner you see
proper. We are yours, truly,

Indiana's Financial Embarrassment.
INDIANoPLIs, August20. The tinan.
cial embarrassments of Indiana are
growing more and more serious. The
last dollar in the general fund Of the
State Treasury was paid out to- day, and
there are no resources that can be
drawn upon before next December. In
the IN eant me S200,0O0 will be
needed to pay the current expenses of
the State government and public insti'
tutions. Treasurer Lemike announces
that he will call upon the counties to
advance funds, but if they do so
it will be voluntary, S the law
does not require them TO such calls
when they owe nothing. One effect OF
exhaustation of the Treasury will be
the suspension of work upon all State
institutions, Of which several are now

TOPEKA, Aug. S.-The Kansas corn
crop will not be so large as was antici-
pated six weeks or two months ago,
the drought of July having materially
affected it in some places. There was
trouble with chinch bugs, but this pest
could not be said to have done extern
sive damage, and hot winds baked a
number of fields. Hail storms also work.
ed much damage in isolated sections,
but as a whole the crop reports, un-
official, are more favorable to-day than
it was thought possible a week ago. A
large acreage was planted, and the
losses by drought, hail, hot winds and
bugs will not amount to so much, if
any more, than the oVerplus that
would have resulted from increased
acreage, had the season been favorable.
1t is safer to say that taking into ac-
count the entire acreage planted the
yield will be 20 per cent of what, under
more favorable conditions, might have
been expected.

ELeIN, Ills, Aug. 1O.-A newspaper
man who has just completed a tour of
this (Kane) county, reports that he
found every evidence of coming milk
famine, the result of the great drought.
The seriousness of the milk famine can
be imagined from the fact that one
milk train, which reaches Chicago at
10 a. m. comes from this county, and
furnishes daily upwards of twenty car
loads of $50 cans each, eight gallons to
the can, has stopped. Already the
pasturage is dead above the ground,
and unless there Is rain within two
weeks the roots will be dried, and re-
seeding will be necessary. Around FL
gin nothing green is left except the
leaves on the trees and they are fall
ing. Mr.. Pembleton, of the st. Charles
creamery, the largest in the county,
said that he had dropped from his or
binary daily receipt of $1,000 to 10000
pounds of milk.

CrOn Yield.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The pros
pect month ago was very heavy
crop of corn and rate of yield of about
an average. Its condition in all states
of the Atlantic coast is now unimpaired
and of a very high promise. In Texas
and Tennessee the condition has de-
clined materially. In the central corn
region, however, in the valleys of Ohio
and Missouri, where tWO-thirdS OF the
crop is grown and the commercial sup
ply is procured, very heavy reduction
has taken place which has made the ma
tional average 80.7, instead of 97.7 last
month. The cause is the long con-
tinued drouth, which has been SeVereSt
in Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and
Michigan.
Nebraska has been scorchej on the
southern border and Iowa and MisSou-
ri have escaped with q comparatively
light loss as have the more northern
states. The seven corn surplus states
stand as follows: Ohio, 80; Indiana, 81;
Illinois, IS; Iowa, 80; Missouri, 30; Kan
sas, so; Nebraska, rs.
The condition of spring wheat, re-
ported very low last month from rava-
ges of chinch bugs, is not improved in
the August returns, but has fallen OFF
very slightly, the general average be-
ing 1873, but two points less than the
August returns of last year. Dakota
highest in the conditions. The aver
age for Wisconsin is 20; Minnesota, IA;
Iowa, Y; Nebraska, n; Dakota, 70.
The extreme east and on the Pacific
coast the condition of spring wheat is
high.
In the oats crop there is no change.
Parts of the breadth was harvested at
| last report and the condition averages
$50, which indicates a crop slightly
| under the average.
The barley crop promises to yield
rather better than was feared last
month. The eastern product averaged
| a higher condition, but is reduced
slightly since the last report. The av-
erage is 86.2, indicating nearly an aver
age yield.
The buckwheat area appears to be
practically the same as last year, and
averages about SO in condition.
In potatoes there is great reduction
since the first of July in condition, al
most entirely the result of the drouth
| There is no material decline on the At
lantic or gulf coasts, but the injury is
severe in the west. The loss during
the month is reported as fully 2 per
cent of the prospective crop.
The fruit crop is very poor. There
will be few apples outside of New Y Orl
and New England. There will be q
partial crop in Michigan. In the Ohio
river states the harvest will be nearly &
failure.
The hay crop is also greatly reduced
in the west.
The tobacco crop is in a high condi
ton in the seed leaf states, averaging
nearly 100 except in Wisconsin. The
shipping and cutting districts OF the
west make an unprecedented report o.
the low condition-Te 20; Ken
lucky, 20; Ohio, 55; Indiana, 56; Hi
nois, 50; Missouri, so. In view of thu
heavy reduction in the acreage only /:
small fragment of the usual crop ma!
be expected. An official investigation
of the area now in progress will deter
mine authoritatively the breadth cult
waited the present year.
